My Dear Friends, (4th April 2006)
I would like to seek for your help, as one of my classmates is now
facing a huge problem in helping her sister fighting against
cancer. She is now urgently looking for AB+ platelets donar (For
more infomation, please refer to the mail below). Unfortunately,
she is not be able to find anyone with that blood type yet, but her
sister might need them next week.
Please give us a hand, because life is precious. If you are AB+
blood type and willing to help, please contact me at
97511805.
Thank you,
Fong May
Dear friends,
My sister, Angeline Khoo is currently hospitalizes at the isolation
room no.5 of ward 58 (The Cancer Institute) of NUH. She diagnosed
with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) after the bone marrow
aspiration since last year. CML is a malignant cancer of the bone
marrow. It causes rapid growth of the blood-forming cells (known as
myeloid precursors) in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and body
tissues. To cure this disease, she decided to undergo the bone
marrow transplant (BMT). After some times of seeking for suitable
bone-marrow donor, the doctor decided to take my brother, Andrew
Khoo as a donor. My brother is of A+ blood group while my sister is
of B+ blood group originally. After the BMT, the new A+ blood group
will get rid of the existing B+ blood group in my sister's body. In
which eventually, my sister will be changed to A+ blood
group.
BMT has started since last week by high-dose chemotherapy as an
initial process/state to kill all the bad and good cells. The
chemotherapy end on Tuesday and followed by injection of stem cells
on Thursday and was fully injected successfully. She is under
observation state now. I was then told to look for AB+ platelets
donor and O+ blood donor to backup in case of bleeding and
bruising
occured.
However, based on her good progression today (i.e. her blood
condition is stable), I was told that O+ blood group donor is not
needed anymore. But, backup AB+ platelets donor is still needed as
there may be activation of platelets donation if her platelets
count drops within this 2 weeks. As such, I need to look for about
3 backup AB+ platelets donors. Please see the details below.
Please let me know if anyone iswilling to volunteer as a backup
donor. You can contact me through my mobile: 90046938, u can sms or
just call me.
Many Thanks.
